Stubborn nuts
I definitely enjoy a challenge.
I'm not sure the spindles are able to be restored. I'm going to work on getting that nut off of the blades. I'm at the point where I'm going to try a couple more methods of getting the nut off so I can inspect the spindles. If nothing else, I'll cut the nut off with an angle grinder. I'm hoping we don't get there  Again, thanks for reading!

Stubborn nuts!
Thanks for the compliments on my restorations cubkenny...I appreciate it very much!
 Regarding those stubborn spindle nuts...my next course of action would be to try an impact wrench on them, with a large wrench on the opposite side of the spindles. If that doesn't work, try heating the nuts (not the threaded part) with a torch. Heating will expand the nuts slightly making them easier to remove with the impact tool. If your deck is in really bad shape, try to find a 48GT or a 54GT deck for your tractor. Part of the fun restoring these old (but really well built) tractors is the hunt for the things you will need to get the restoration completed! You will meet many nice people along the way as you search. Check craigslist, auctions, cub cadet dealers who sell used equipment as well as any other sellers of used garden tractors in your area. Also, try cub cadet enthusiasts who have things to sell. Have fun in the process! I look forward to seeing your restoration pictures as you progress. You are off to a great start! Keep the momentum going!!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
